Outside of work I’m a husband and father of one loving wife and two great children. I love outdoor adventures including summiting several 14ers, running the Pikes Peak Ascent 3 times and riding my hard tail mountain bike down Porcupine Rim at over 40mph. Not being afraid of the kitchen, I swear I’m a pretty great cook too. Just ask my wife.
